• Wes Block : Twenty-eight years ago I borrowed 40 dollars from my father, packed up an old, beat up suitcase, took a bus and came here. I was seventeen at the time. While I walked through the French Quarter, I looked out over the Mississippi and swore I'd never leave.

  Beryl Thibodeaux : Ever come close?

  Wes Block : Only once. When I looked down and saw that the suitcase was missing.

• Uniformed Police Officer : Wes, Beryl Thibodeaux from the rape something or other wants to see you.

  Wes Block : Where is she?

  Uniformed Police Officer : In the reception room.

  Wes Block : Tell her I'm out.

  Uniformed Police Officer : I did. She said she'd wait.

  Wes Block : Good. Tell her I'm out of town.

  [Wes turns around and sees Beryl standing there, she who gives him a sarcastic grin] 

  Beryl Thibodeaux : Welcome back.

• Beryl Thibodeaux : Do you investigate many sexual crimes?

  Wes Block : Why?

  Beryl Thibodeaux : I was wondering if they've had any... effect on you.

  Wes Block : Well, they did make me want to treat my wife a little more tenderly.

  Beryl Thibodeaux : How did she respond?

  Wes Block : She said she wasn't interested in tenderness.
